	abstract = {Watershed managers and utilities responsible for source water protection are looking for ways to minimize risk from both human and nonhuman pathogen reservoirs. The ability to accurately identify microbial input source(s) would allow water managers to develop and apply effective, cost-efficient corrective measures. In this study, the potential role of F-specific coliphages with a special focus on the F+DNA coliphages as delineators of sources of surface water microbial pollution was investigated. A variety of source samples from across the United States were analyzed including wastewater and septic system samples, animal slurry lagoon samples, and freshly voided animal fecal samples. Samples were analyzed for fecal coliforms, F-specific coliphages, and somatic coliphages. F-specific phages were isolated and typed to determine whether they were F+RNA or F+DNA coliphages, and were subsequently serotyped and genotyped. F-specific coliphages were detected more often in wastewater samples and slurry lagoon sam...},
